Claim-level biblical evidence review with contextual controls, canonical relationships, and preserved interpretive history.
How to read this entry
Evidence grades apply to individual claims, not to the headword as a whole. Strong biblical identification is kept separate from plausible or traditional interpretations, and unsupported proposals remain visible as negative evidence rather than being silently removed.
Christ’s sitting at God’s right hand as completed sacrificial work and exalted authority
Hebrews contrasts the standing, repeated work of Levitical priests with Christ’s sitting at God’s right hand after his one sacrifice.
Context control: This theological force belongs to the enthronement/sacrificial context; ordinary sitting elsewhere is not thereby a symbol of finished work, rest, or authority.
Hebrews 10:11–14 explicitly contrasts priests who stand daily offering repeated sacrifices with Christ, who after offering one sacrifice for sins sat down at God’s right hand; in this Christological context sitting marks the finality of his once-for-all sacrificial work and his exalted right-hand authority.
Grade 1: Explicit biblical interpretationScope: This theological force belongs to the enthronement/sacrificial context; ordinary sitting elsewhere is not thereby a symbol of finished work, rest, or authority.
Residual uncertainty: No material residual uncertainty beyond the stated scope limitation.
